Review the following sections to upgrade to ZENworks 7 Server Management with SP1:
ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 components must be upgraded independently to ZENworks 7 Server Management with SP1 components. We recommend the following upgrade order:
Extend the Schema (required before upgrading any component) using the instructions in Section 12.0, Version 3.0.2 Policy and Distribution Services.
Upgrade Policy and Distribution Services using the instructions in Section 12.0, Version 3.0.2 Policy and Distribution Services.
IMPORTANT:If you have External Subscriber servers to upgrade from version 3.0.2 (or version 3 SP2), to successfully send Distributions to those External Subscriber servers from Distributors that have been upgraded to version 7 with SP1 you must do one of the following:
Before upgrading the Distributor that you will use to send the Server Package Distribution (for CPKs), update your External Subscriber servers with the Interim Release 4 CPK before you upgrade those servers to version 7 with SP1; then, upgrade the Distributor server to version 7 with SP1 and thereafter upgrade the External Subscriber servers to version 7 with SP1 using the CPK upgrade Distributions from any version 7 with SP1 Distributor server.
Using the GUI upgrade, upgrade both the Distributor servers and External Subscriber servers to version 7 with SP1 at the same time. Then you can send version 7 with SP1 Distributions to the upgraded External Subscriber servers.
After upgrading the Distributor and External Subscriber servers to version 7 with SP1, delete the ted.cfg file on the upgraded Distributor server, then restart the Distributor service. Then you can send version 7 with SP1 Distributions to the upgraded External Subscriber servers.
Upgrade Server Inventory using the instructions in Section 13.0, Server Inventory. (Server Inventory requires Policy and Distribution Services to be upgraded first.)
Upgrade Remote Management using the instructions in Section 14.0, Remote Management.
Upgrade Management and Monitoring Services using the instructions in Section 15.0, Management and Monitoring Services.
There are two methods for upgrading the ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 components to ZENworks 7 Server Management with SP1:
GUI upgrade program: For NetWare and Windows servers, various options in the wizard that you run from the Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management with Support Pack 1 Program CD provide upgrading for each of the Server Management components.
For all platforms, this method must be used to upgrade the Distributor and Subscriber eDirectory™ objects.
For Linux and Solaris servers for the Policy and Distribution Services component, upgrading Distributors is done using a script, which detects an existing ZENworks for Servers version and provides the upgrade option.
Distributor objects for Linux or Solaris Distributor servers must be upgraded first using the GUI upgrade program.
Server Software Package: You can use the .cpk file available on the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Compaion 3 CD to upgrade each of the Server Management components for the each of the supported operating systems (except for Distributors on Linux and Solaris servers). This method simply requires creation of Software Package Distributions to be sent to the Subscriber servers that you want to upgrade.
This method does not upgrade Subscriber eDirectory objects. That must be done using the GUI upgrade program.
For Server Inventory, only the Inventory Agent can be upgraded using a Server Software Package (.cpk file).
For issues dealing with interoperability between ZENworks Server Management and ZENworks Desktop Management, see Section V, Interoperability.
